Clover Mist Post-Fire Planting

Thanks to the generous support of individual members of the Rockefeller family, we reforested 100 acres of Shoshone National Forest, still without forest cover thirty years after the Clover Mist Fire. The family had long ties to this region as John D. Rockefeller, Jr. had acquired and donated to the federal government 33,000 acres for a major expansion of public lands around Jackson Hole, WY. The Shoshone and Teton National Forests lie directly to the east of where an earlier Rockefeller had done his part for conservation.
